Description
Spiced pumpkin pudding delivers a creamy autumn dessert with rich, warming flavors. Wholesome ingredients blend seamlessly, offering you a delightful plant-based treat perfect for seasonal celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups (300g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) unsweetened dairy-free milk
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons (24g) cornstarch
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Base: In a medium saucepan, whisk brown sugar and cornstarch together, meticulously eliminating any lumps for a smooth foundation.
- Liquid Integration: Gently pour dairy-free milk into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to create a silky, lump-free mixture while carefully scraping the pan’s edges.
- Pumpkin Infusion: Introduce pumpkin puree, whisking vigorously until the mixture transforms into a vibrant, uniform orange color with consistent texture.
- Heat and Thicken: Position the saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching and promote even thickening, watching the pudding develop a dense, spoon-coating consistency in 5-7 minutes.
- Flavor Enhancement: Remove from heat and fold in pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to distribute aromatic notes throughout the pudding.
- Setting Process: Transfer the warm pudding into a glass container, immediately draping plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent skin formation, then chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Serving Suggestion: Present the pudding cold, optionally crowning with a luxurious dollop of coconut whipped cream for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Prevent Lumps: Whisk brown sugar and cornstarch thoroughly to eliminate any potential clumping, ensuring a smooth base for your pudding.
- Control Heat Carefully: Stir continuously over medium-high heat to avoid scorching and achieve an even, creamy texture without burning.
- Skin Prevention Trick: Cover pudding surface directly with plastic wrap immediately after cooking to stop skin formation and maintain silky smoothness.
- Texture Perfection: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow complete setting and develop a rich, creamy consistency that holds its shape perfectly.
